The NBA is back in session on Friday with a host of riveting matchups, including a playoff rematch from Madison Square Garden and a matchup between two legends on the West Coast.
The Boston Celtics dominated the Washington Wizards to improve to 2-0 last night, while the OKC Thunder breezed past Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets 102-87 as they look to establish a reign of dominance over the Western Conference.

Turner grabbed nine rebounds in his season-opener against the Detroit Pistons but isn’t known as a great rebounding big man. He’s also going to be camped at the three-point line during many possessions due to the fact that Karl-Anthony Towns will space to the perimeter to open up gaps for Jalen Brunson and the rest of his teammates.
Turner averaged six rebounds per game in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks last year while playing 31.6 minutes per game, which is more than the 27 he averaged during the regular season. Al Horford, the only center to start against the Knicks this year, also grabbed just three rebounds when they played on opening night.

Did the Mobley leap finally occur? The 23-year-old scored 25 points in 27 minutes in a 136-106 win against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, going 9-14 (64.3 percent) from the field and 1-2 (50 percent) from deep.
Mobley’s length and speed on the court make him a matchup nightmare waiting to happen if he can consistently create his own shot and knock down perimeter shots. The Pistons allowed the fourth-highest field goal percentage thus far (in a very limited sample size), and Mobley has the hot hand.

Fans of the Chicago Bulls will know that the Greek Freak has not been kind to them recently. Excluding a game in February 2023, during which he left after nine minutes, he scored at least 30 points in five of six games and averaged 36.7 points during that stretch.
The Bulls only have one player, Patrick Williams, who can reasonably match up with Antetokounmpo. Nikola Vucevic, Matas Buzelis, Julian Phillips, Zach LaVine, Torrey Craig, Jalen Smith, and the rest of their options will be at his mercy when they take the court on Friday night.

The reigning SEC Men’s Basketball Player of the Year, Knecht averaged 18 points per game during the preseason before he scored just five in his regular-season debut. That said, there’s reason to hold onto optimism for him ahead of a date with the Phoenix Suns.
Knecht is going to get the minutes that were awarded to Bronny James during the season opener and plenty of plays drawn specifically to get him going from three. The Suns were average at defending the three-point line a year ago, and Knecht looked comfortable on an NBA court in his first bit of action on Tuesday.

The Golden State Warriors knew what they needed to trade to acquire Lauri Markkanen but ultimately decided to stand pat. Players can pretend that “business is business” and they’re able to block out external noise, but that surely won’t be forgotten by “The Finnisher.”
Markkanen scored 35 points on 60 percent shooting in a 126-124 loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday. His unique blend of size and shooting will be a problem for the Warriors, who don’t have a player with the frame and defensive attributes that work well to stop him.
